It’s days like today that remind me of why my Meal Prep Party business is important. The weather was gorgeous here in Cbus and Gray and I spent the entire day outside. And this is my mission for all mamas & busy women in general: to have less time in the kitchen & more time doing what they love with the people they love most.
I remember just a few short months ago when I had hit rock bottom.
It was right after Christmas. I was not coping with being so far from my family with no end in sight of when the borders would open & we could finally visit. I felt alone as I had very few people I could rely on to help with Gray (in fact just my mother-in-law who is super busy herself) and I was juggling being a SAHM & WFHM working during nap times and bed times and whenever I could. I was struggling to “do it all” around the house. Now don’t get me wrong, my husband helps A LOT when he can but he works long hours and I just felt like it wasn’t how I wanted us to spend the little amount of family time we had.
I was constantly trying to organize the best activities, learning experiences & food options for Gray. I was stressed in thinking that I was never doing enough for my family. Fast forward to dinner time and I was literally throwing together whatever I could find in the kitchen and hoping it tasted palatable. We were wasting food as I was grocery shopping blind without a list and zero clue was I was going to make, so would “stock up” in case I need items throughout the week. Even thinking about it now, I’m exhausted… I knew something had to change.
Fast forward to early February, when I had several coaching consultations with other women who felt THE EXACT SAME WAY. It was heartbreaking to hear and there were several times when we would breakdown together. I knew I wanted to help them (and myself) I just couldn’t think of how I could with my current business structure. I knew I could teach them how to eat for life, help them create sustainable habits and routines, help them to prioritize their workouts… but I couldn’t help them to find time for themselves and the things they love the most: whether it be playing outside with their kids after work, having time to pursue their hobbies, date nights, being present in the family.
And so, after a solid week of thinking, brainstorming, journaling- Meal Prep Parties became about. I “take” one hour of your time to give you make multiple during the week. I provide members with categorized grocery lists, recipes & the opportunity to come together every Sunday to prep 5 weekday meals. Here is your chance to find more time in your busy week for YOURSELF & YOUR FAMILY.
